Cooking Steps
  1. Begin by peeling and cubing the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces, about 1-inch in size, and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart as it browns.
  3. Add cubed sweet potatoes to the skillet, stirring well to combine, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the sausage and sweet potatoes, stirring to combine.
  5. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 10 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  6. Remove from heat, uncover, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot from the skillet.
